Official Responsibility.
ST Bernard Eagle.

The criminal proceeding against Will
A. Strong. late Secretary of State, seem
ed to terminate by the interposltion of
a plea of prescription. This mode OF
defense shuts out investigation on the
merits, and, if successful, only es-
tablisIies that the lapse of time and the
failure Of the officers to prosecute
create conclusive presumption of in
nocence. Ex-Secretary Strong stands
impeached by the Grand Jury for bav-
ing abused bis trust by shameful en-
beZzlement OF public money, and in
taking refuge behind the plea of pre-
scription, be virtually admits the truth
of the charge. The testimony of ex
Auditor Jumel seems to establish be-
yond doubt that 'no money for cleo
ton paper had been paid in by Strong.n
and that the SING sum of some 1924
had been quietly appropriated by the
delinquent Secretary aud transferred to
the account of his private exchequer.
A matter which the people have
learned with painful surprise is that
had the guilty official escaped it would
have been through the objectionable
laches OF the administration. The pre-
scription applicable TO the otIense with
NN. Witch Mr. .Ir. Strong stands charged is one
year. Now it appears that so fully APP
prized was the Executive of the facts
In 1884, that in letter bearing date
August IS, of that year, he demanded
of the Secretary settlement and stated
that he was Uniformed at the Treasury
Department that no money had been
paid into the Treasury on account OF
these t sales of paper And yet with
that knowledge OF the irregularlty
which was obtained through Auditor
Steel. in 1884, no steps seem to have
been taken to prosecute until it might
have been too late to vindicate the law,
and punish the offender. A friendly
epistolary interchange between the
Governor and Secretary appears to
have followed the disclosures in which
the executive respectfully requests
that the above amount be paid" and in
which the derelict official responds that
he was absent attending court at w:
and will be in Baton Rouge next week"
Those written communications esta-
blish the fact that the crime was
brought to the knowledge OF the head
of the Executive department OF State
in 1884. and just why the prosecution
was DELAYED so as to admit the plea OF
prescription is yet to be made clear to
the people. A very just sentiment OF
| indignation has been aroused by the
laxify which, through clemency or care
lessness, is emptying the penltentIary
of criminals. 1t looks now as it a GER
tain class could not even be vexed with
a temporary confinement.

Rough om the Lieutenant Cow
ePMOr.

The Homer Journal, commenting on
some recent public utterances OF Lieut..
Gov. Knoblocl,, says:
The Lieutenant Governor airs MS
opinions OF State politics with an ego
tism that in so far as it is not disgust
ing is truly amusing. He says that
Nichols is very weak candldate-can-
not even carry his own parish. NC
Emery is strong, but he is careful to say
that he does not say that McEuery VIII
be nominated. In short, he says that
he (knoblocID held the balance OF pow,
er in the last State convention ana
nominated McEnery, and that he will
be on hand with the balance OF power
again in the next convention and can
name the next Governor The sub
stance Of the whole interview OF this
self-important gentleman is, that 1T Ia
altogether useless for the people OF
Louisiana to manifest any concern
about their next GovernoT-hold prl-
malies, or in any other way express
their preferences. This is utterly use
less would be trouble for nothing and
might njure the party. The people no
longer have anything to do with max
ing governors. knobloch holds the
whole thing in the hollow of his band
and OF course will close down on it for
himself, or in the event he does not
want it will turn it over to some hench-
man who can be relied upon. Parties
who have an ambition to be Governor
need not apply to the people. All this
is thing of the past. The people OF
Louisiana are no longer the sources of
political power and public preferment.
knobloch has been kind enough to re-
lieve the people of this trouble and an
noyance. He is the one and only poll
teal power in Louisiana. Candidates,
instead of throwing themselves in the
arms of the dear people, have only to
fall into the arms of Mr.. Clay Knob
loch. For some time the people have
suspected that their will was not very
important factor in the manufacture of
governors and no doubt they feel re-
lieved to know that their suspicious
have been we'll founded, and at the
same time gratitied to discover that the
whole matter is in the hands of per
son who was never before suspected OF
anything of the kind.

what True Merit will Do.

The unprecedent sale Of Boschee's
German Syrup within a few years. has
astouished the world. It is without
doubt the safest and best remedy ever
discovered for the speedy and effectual
cure of Coughs, Colds and the severest
Inng Troubles. 1t acts on an entirely
different principle from the usual pre-
scriptions given by physicians, as it
does not dry up cough and leave the
disease still in the system, but on the
contrary removes the canse of the
trouble, heals the parts affected and
leaves them in purely healthy condi-
ton. A bottle kept in the house for
use when these diseases make their APP
pearance, will save doctors bills and a
long spell Of serious illness. A trial
will convince you of these facts. 1t is
positively sold by all druggists and
general dealers in the land. Price rs
cents, large bottles.

The Governor versus the
People.

The following from the Natcltoches
Democratic Review show how the
Governor is disposed to set up boss rule
and ring rule in the parishes:
When Gov. Wilt was elected the
Democrats of this parish dwelt togeth-
er united and as harmonious as band
of brothers but, after a while, there
grew up a difference of opinion among
the leaders, and out OF these differences
grew two factions--One composed OF a
few men, and the other of by far the
larger body of Democrats. Somehow
the leader of the small faction was ia
ken into the confidence of the Govern
or, and became all-powerful as far as
the patronage was concerned. When
The present Governor succeeded to the
position made vacant by the death of
Gov. Wilt, he did not see fit to change
the policy of his predecessor. and con-
tinued to be guided in all questions
relative to this parish by the recon-
mendations of the gentleman, who
though member of the Legislature,
was the head Of much the smaller Of the
two factions. This course eliminated
in 1882 when upon the request of the
gentleman referred to, supplemented by
q petition signed by thirty-five persons,
the Governor removed the Mayor and
City Council of this city, and appoint ted
in their stead political friends Of the
above gentleman. This action by the
Governor was taken without consulta-
ton with, or without even the knowl-
edge of the other representative from
this parish, or of the Hon. NJ. j. Cum
ningham, who was the Senator from
this district, and both of whom were in
Baton Rouge at the time, attending a
session of the Legislature. The gentle
men who were removed were among the
leading citizens of the town and parish
and their Democracy had never been
questioned. They had received a unan-
1maus nomination at the. hands of
their party ana hat. been elected by a
vote almost unanimous. No charges
were made against them in the petition
which asked the appointment OF their
successors, and no reasons were assigned
that the offices had I1een rendered va
cant by tie operation of the constitu-
Lon. The petition was signed by
thirty-fve persons who represented
themselves as "citiZens and taxpayers. y
Fourteen of the mum Der were well
known Republicans, eight OF whom
were negroes. our vi tic UtbtiS NtiS
Greenbackers, and one an Independent !;
and altogether they paid corporation
tax of So a. So secretly was the affair
conducted that hardly man in this
place, except the signers of the petition,
even so much as dreamed OF the con-
templated action of the Governor until
the commissions for the newly appoint
ed officials arrived. To make a long
story short, from legal standpoint. it
was so clear that the appointment of
the new members by the Governor was
illegal and beyond any, authority vested
in him by law, and public sentiment so
strongly condemned it, that the new
appointees did not make the legal con-
test without which they could not get
their places, and the scheme fell
through. But the attempt to execute it
proved that the Governor no longer
cared for the wishes of the people here
nor troubled himself to consult them
in such matters.
